While it might seem like the coronavirus is never going away, people are still working hard to find a way to treat it.
That includes one Texas teen, who just won $25,000 for her work on a possible solution for the virus. 14-year-old eighth-grader Anika Chebrolu of Frisco has won the 2020 3M Young Scientist Challenge for her study on COVID-19.
Anika started working on ways to fight the flu for her project, but when the pandemic hit, her focus shifted to figuring out COVID-19. Her breakthrough could mean the beginning of a viable treatment for the virus.

14 years old!! How awesome!!
Incidentally, I was given 40,000 by the Health Department to Not Touch Anything.
Wow! She has a great career ahead of her!
Well, that sorta figures.
Since it was a 15 year old girl who decided that lockdowns work and drove 320 million into lockdown, why wouldn’t a 14 year old have the solutions?
The article by 15 year old Laura Glass that set all this garbage in motion...

I assume everyone here is familiar with in-silico methodology so I won’t bother to go into that as I explain in detail what this all means.
To be continued. At some later date. Probably a much later date. Holding your breath is not recommended.
I’ll take the wild guess that this is her dad:

(Yeah, I am cynical, but at least up here in the Northeast, there is pretty reliably a competition-driven science advisor and/or professional parent behind the winner in most such competitions.)
Same here. I live right next door to Frisco. We had a DOD engineer dad built a robot for a winning selection here. Everyone with a brain knows most of these competitions are won by the parent, not the kid. My parents didn’t help with mine and my father was NASA. It was a matter of principle. Meh, was still second place.
Isn’t the in-silico methodology is employed disproportionately at strip clubs?
Right. That’s what I meant. Thanks for the input. When I issue my final report on this topic I’ll expand, I mean really expand, on that theme.
Watch for the report. I’m planning on finishing it up about the time we are all busy reading the from John Durham.
Second place is pretty darned good considering that! (Though of course having your dad at NASA likely at least opened your mind to it ahead of many other kids without that.)
So nice that we at least don’t have to outsource for all our Greta Thunbergs!
No, that’s the in vivo silicone method, as the silicone is within living tissue.
According to what I drive past, it’s primarily used in establishments just on the edge of basically every US military installation where I’ve worked.
This is nice but they have a CURE for this virus not treatment cure. Trump was treated with this kind of stuff.
“UPMC, Pitt Develop Potential Anti-COVID-19 Drug From Antibody Component
Researchers from UPMC and the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine have isolated a tiny antibody component that completely neutralizes SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.”
Get her to work on a disease that’s a problem. How about rabies?
Compare these young geniuses to the much praised eco brat Greta Thunberg.
